Commercial Vehicles (Rs.CVRs.)

The Indian CV Industry continued the growth trajectory and overall, the industry saw a robust growth of 34% in wholesale and 38% by VAHAN registrations in FY 2022-23. This growth was primarily led by the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicle (Rs.M&HCVsRs.) (+52.4% vs FY 2022-23) and continued robust recovery in passenger carriers (+155% in FY 2022-23). This growth was catalysed by robust demand for heavy trucks required to service the strong infrastructure push by the Government of India and increased activity in e-commerce, construction, and mining. Higher replacement demand, advance buying in anticipation of price hikes, further buoyed the demand in Q4 FY 2022-23. Overall, Tata Motors CV domestic sale in FY 2022-23 was 22% higher than in FY 2021-22, while domestic VAHAN registrations volumes were 29% higher than FY 2021-22.

CV business recorded its highest ever revenue for the quarter Q4 FY 2022-23 and for the FY 2022-23. We revised our operating model to deliver "Profitable Growth". Shifting gears from "supply chain push" to "retail pull", which impacted registration VAHAN market share in October 2022, however, the share has sequentially grown thereafter in second half.

CV business improved on key customer facing metrics and its Net Promoter Score and Brand power increased by 300bps and 170 bps, respectively to reach their highest ever levels. The business also improved its Composite Customer Satisfaction Index from 792 to 813 (+3%) in FY 2022-23.

its Green portfolio plans through 14 exhibits across all future powertrain technologies at Auto Expo23.

Tata Motors achieved Industry Leadership band in Tata Business Excellence Model (Rs.TBEMRs.) external assessment qualifying for JRD QV award, with significant jump in score across categories. Tata Motors CV was assigned Level-5, Exemplary category in recent CII Total Cost Maturity (Rs.TCMRs.) assessment, the highest achieved score by any organization.

CV exports, remained subdued due to the prevailing economic situation in most overseas markets. In FY 2022-23 the export shipments were 42% lower than FY 2021-22, while revenue was down by 22% due to improved mix. Major drop was witnessed in the SAARC region (-62%) driven by Total Industry Volume (Rs.TIVRs.) softening, forex shortages, and liquidity crunch in the latter half of the year. MENA and ASEAN regions witnessed 6% y-o-y growth in exports. The business retained or grew its market share and also sequentially improved margins across most markets.

Passenger Vehicles (Rs.PVRs.)

The PV industry recorded 27% y-o-y wholesale growth in FY 2022-23. The industry recorded highest ever annual wholesale volumes of 3.8 million in FY 2022-23. Sports Utility Vehicle (Rs.SUVsRs.) continue to garner larger share of sales in the market. The growth has come on the back of pent-up demand in the first half of FY 2022-23, exciting launches, good festive demand and overall increase in supplies. Share of SUVs increased to 43.1% in FY 2022-23, 3% higher than FY 202122 and share of Hatches decreased to 34.5% in FY 2022-23, 3.1% lower than FY 2021-22.

In FY 2022-23, the PV business crossed the coveted milestone of 5 lakh annual vehicle sales first time in the history and became the 3rd manufacturer to do so in the Indian market. Domestic wholesale volumes were 539K and VAHAN market share stood at 13.5% in FY 2022-23, an increase of 210bps vis-a-vis FY 2021-22. The growth has come on the back of continued response for the product range, thoughtful Rs.New ForeverRs. interventions, multi-powertrain options, focused reimagining initiative towards demand generation and consistent increase in supplies. For the year FY 2022-23, the SUV segment achieved market share of 21.4% and emerged as #1 SUV manufacturer for FY 2022-23.

In January 2023 at Auto Expo, 12 promising showcases which include Avinya, Sierra EV, Harrier EV, Curvv ICE, Altroz and Punch CNG with twin cylinder technology and Altroz

Cafe racer were displayed. The #DARK (Red Hot Dark) versions for Nexon, Harrier and Safari were launched in February 2023, extending the lineage of the iconic #DARK philosophy and already established strong design, these SUVs exude dynamism through the newly added Carnelian Red highlights, giving it an exclusive premium feel combined with a bold look. Harrier and Safari were further enhanced with a desirable larger infotainment Screen of 26.03 cm (10.25 inch) and 10 new ADAS features.

PV exports for FY 2022-23 closed at 2,451 units, 36% higher than previous year, largely on account of market recovery and penetration of Electric Vehicle in Nepal. Major highlights for FY 2022-23 was that the business achieved highest ever shipment market share of 50.1% in Nepal. Nexon remained the highest selling Brand name and Tigor remained the highest selling Sedan in Nepal.

Electric Vehicles (Rs.EVRs.)

The industry grew by Rs.170% from Rs.22,000 in FY 2021-22 to Rs.59,000 in FY 2022-23. EV fleet demand has seen a considerable growth in FY 2022-23 as corporates started Rs.work-from-officeRs. and people re-started using ride hailing services with receding of Covid-19 scare. In addition, owing to commitment towards sustainability, both Corporates and Ride hailing companies, are driving the agenda of converting respective fleets to electric.

Tata Motors continued to lead the charge in EVs and crossed 50,000 units (50,0043) sales, including International business sales, in FY 2022-23 registering growth of 154% over FY 202122. We exited Q4 FY 2021-23 with EV penetration Rs.12% in our portfolio. In addition, given our compelling offering, the Tigor EV, for the fleet segment and our continuous engagement with fleet operators, we garnered the largest share of the orders floated across industry. In FY 2022-23, we signed MoUs for deploying over 45,000 EVs to multiple service providers.

JAGUAR LAND ROVER (Rs.JLRRs.)

JLR wholesales (excluding the China joint venture) were 3,21,362 vehicles in FY 2022-23, up 9% compared to FY 2021-22 reflecting the gradual improvement in chip supplies. JLR retail sales (including the China joint venture) were 3,54,662 vehicles in

FY 2022-23, down 6% y-o-y as a result of destocking of inventory during FY 2021-22 creating a timing difference vs wholesales. Retail sales have been improving during FY 2022-23.

• Ramp up of the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport approaching target production levels.

• Strong engagement with chip suppliers continued to secure in calender year 2023 and 2024 supplies.

• Pricing and mix have been managed throughout the year to offset the impacts of inflation leading to an increase in average wholesale price to dealers from ?62k per unit in FY 2021-22 to ?71k per unit in FY 2022-23.
